Alcohol can affect a number of body systems, including:
Cardiovascular system – raised blood pressure and triglycerides (especially after binge drinking), damage to the heart muscle and stroke.
Nervous system – brain damage, tremors, dementia and nerve damage. Alcohol is a depressant drug and affects your coordination, self-control, judgment and reaction times.
Gastrointestinal system – stomach inflammation (gastritis) and bleeding.
Liver – cancer, hepatitis (inflammation), fatty changes, cirrhosis and liver failure.
Endocrine system – problems controlling blood sugar, loss of libido and reduced fertility.
Nutrition – malnutrition (alcohol displaces nutrients from your body) and obesity.
Women who drink alcohol are at a higher risk of breast cancer and other gynaecological problems.
"Binge drinking" or drinking heavily over a short period of time or drinking continuously over a number of days or weeks can be very harmful to a persons health and wellbeing. Large amounts of alcohol can result
in confusion, blurred vision, poor muscle control, nausea, vomiting, sleep, coma or even death.
Large amounts of alcohol can impair a persons judgement and decision-making skills which may increase the risk that they may do silly things and put themselves in dangerous situations.
